Upgrading to Oracle 10g for R/3 4.5B

Hello All,
One of the businesses we support is running SAP R/3 4.5B on Oracle 9.2.0.6. The kernel details are:
SAP R/3 Kernel information:
SAP R/3 Kernel          45B
Database version        OCI_80500_SHARED
created in                  SunOS 5.5.1 Generic_103640-19 sun4u
Patch level                 972
Is there a path to upgrade the database to 10g with this R/3 release without SAP upgrade?
All information will be useful.
Many Thanks,
Nisch

Nisch,
also, please note the excerpt below taken from note 819655 (please check it for an updated version):
Oracle Version
For general information regarding the support of Oracle version 10.2, see Note 720886 .
Even though Oracle 10 will not be generally certified for SAP systems with Releases 3.1I up to 4.6B, it is fully supported to upgrade these systems to Oracle 10.2 prior to the SAP upgrade or prior to the PREPARE phase of the upgrade.
The system can run with this setup for weeks with full support. This procedure was tested in the SAP-internal upgrade validation phase. However, you will encounter limitations in the field of database monitors and you cannot copy such a system to a target system running on Oracle 10g. From a business application perspective, you can use the system without any limitations.
Double Stack systems: When you upgrade the SAP J2EE Engine from NW ´04 to NW2004s, you must apply at least Support Package 12 of the SAP J2EE Engine before the upgrade to Oracle 10.
Also, note 868681 confirms the above, i.e..:
"SAP Systems 31I - 45B
The transports included within this note are not relevant for SAP releases 31I - 45B. These systems (31I - 45B) have to be upgraded to Oracle 10.x during preparations for the SAP Upgrade (release 700).
The monitoring transactions such as DB02 may not work correctly in these systems after upgrade to Oracle 10.x. However there is NO IMPACT on any of the business transactions."
Meaning, that if you upgrade your 4.5b system to Oracle 10g outside of a SAP upgrade project, you may find yourself running an unsupported installation.
Regards,
JC

Mail advantages in upgrading to Oracle 10g

Since in the company I work in we're still using Oracle 8.1.7 and I'd like to advise to upgrade to Oracle 10g, in addition of assistence advantages (since 8.1.7 is no longer supported), could you tell me briefly which are the main technical advantages from the viewpoint of Pl/Sql programming as a whole? I have to to write up a document where to point out the advantages we could get by upgrading to 10g. For example up to now I've thought of: dbms_scheduler, further sql for analisys.
Bye!

I don't understand PHB's that can't seem to grasp that. They want the latest whiz-bang hardware, the latest eye-candy Windows on their desktop, they will keep server OS's reasonably current, but for some reason they think nothing of letting their rdbms go decades out of support. Do they not understand they are betting their company's survival on out of support software?

Upgrading from Oracle 10G standard edition to Oracle 10G enterprise edition

Hi
I want to upgrade from Oracle 10G standard edition to Oracle 10G enterprise edition. Is there any script provided by oracle which I can run on existing Oracle 10G standard edition to upgrade to enterprise edition after completing the licensing formalities or do I need to install Oracle 10g Enterprise edition from scratch and then migrate my data.
Ramanbir S

You will not need to perform any data migration to upgrade to EE. The diffetence between standard en enerprise editions are the features offered. When you upgrade you can use the same set of files you used to install standard edition and just add the enterprise edition features you want to use in the 'Custom' section of the Universal Installer.

How to reconfigure Oracle-xe (Oracle 10g for linux)?

Hello!
I found this article (seems useful since I use Mandriva 2010.2):
[http://www.e-angel.net/index.php?tg=articles&idx=Print&topics=195&article=912|http://www.e-angel.net/index.php?tg=articles&idx=Print&topics=195&article=912]
I installed Oracle 10g from the file "oracle-xe-univ-10.2.0.1-1.0.i386.rpm".
Then, when run ./oracle-xe start and then ./oracle-xe status I get:

I would love to truy to reconfigure it but if I try the command:
./oracle-xe configure
...I get:

Does any body know how to reset and reconfigure Oracle 10g for Linux?
Best regards

it seems to be "PLSExtProc" bu default.Nope, the ORACLE_SID is taken from the environment variable when the database is started on a *nix host, windows its set up in the database service. If you want to change the ORACLE_SID, set it. See the environment setup script in OH/bin appropriate for your shell. (OH short for $ORACLE_HOME)

Oracle 10g for Windows installation - Error 1067

Hello Folks
I am trying to install Oracle 10g for Windows on my WIndows 7 Ultimate OS. Everything went fine until I rebooted and tried to run the *SQL Plus. ALthough the Listener as well as the Oracle Servide shoudl automatically start, but for some reason..they didn't. As a result, I went into the Services and tried to manually run them but to my disappointment getting the folowing error:
Windows could not start the OracleServiceORADB1 service on local computer.
Error 1067: The process terminated unexpetedly.
Any idea what went wrong..and how should I get this right?
Thanks

Pl identify the exact version of "10g" that was installed.
The only version that is supported is 10.2.0.5 - see http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B19306_01/relnotes.102/b14264/toc.htm#CIHCFAGA

Unable to download oracle 10g for vista

I'm trying to download Oracle 10g for Windows Vista, but I only get a zero-byte file.
I even tried Oracle 10g XE for Windows, but I get a zero byte file.
Also, when you try to download, it waits about a couple of minutes before saying completed.
Any ideas how to resolve this?.

Thanks for the replies.
It seemed to be a problem with either oracle's web site or a hop between oracle and my computer. It works now. I don't think it was my computer because I succussfully downloaded files from several other sites.
I have downloaded Oracle 10g for windows vista and installed it successfully on vista home premium 32-bit.
I did get a warning because I use DHCP. It recommended to install Microsoft Loopback driver as the primary interface - I didn't do that.
Oracle seems to run okay. I downloaded sql developer and it connects okay to oracle.
I have read other messages on here that installing oracle on a windows system using DHCP without a loopback driver can fail once my IP address changes. If I did install the microsoft loopback driver as my primary interface, what else would I need to do? Would installing this driver cause other stuff on my computer to fail?
Also, when I entered the database name for Oracle, it truncated a character.
I wasn't paying attention. So, after I installed, I was unable to connect at first because I kept entering the wrong TNS name. Is there a maximum TNS name length?
Notice the TNS name is TESTDB10 but the service name is TESTDB10G
TESTDB10 =
(DESCRIPTION =
(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = 192.168.1.101)(PORT = 1521))
(CONNECT_DATA =
(SERVER = DEDICATED)
(SERVICE_NAME = testdb10g)
)

Oracle 10g for Fedora Linux 3 with Kernel 2.6.9

Can any body suggest a link, from where I can download the Oracle database 10g for Fedora Core 3 Linux with Kernel version 2.6.9-1*.
I went through the oracle site site but i was not able to find a one for Fedora 3 instead i found for Fedora 4.
Thanks.......
Suneel

You will not find one exactly as you require.
As I suggested in the duplicate link
Oracle 10g for Fedora Linux 3 with Kernel 2.6.9 you need to take a version of Oracle that seems to close to your Linux and then carefully tinker to make it work.,

Oracle 10g for Mac OS X

I was just reading the session list for Apple's WWDC this year at:
http://developer.apple.com/wwdc/descriptions/descriptions-eit.html
Understanding Oracle 10g for Mac OS X
Come to this session to learn about Oracle's latest grid-based relational database solution, Oracle 10g. Grid computing reduces the cost of IT by clustering servers together to function as a single large computer, shifting resources dynamically between applications. Attend this session if you are an in-house developer looking for a highly scalable and reliable database on Mac OS X Server.
Hopefully this means we will see 10g on our favorite platform sooner rather than later.

As I understand it from what I read somewhere here on Technet about month ago, there will be COMMERICIAL release of 10g on MacOSX.
Wouldn't that be just great? Run Oracle on a G5 X-Serve and OSX Panther instead of running it on some Wintel box with geeky Linux! I can hardly wait. This DBA will have his own G4 2x1 GHz ready!
FACT is : it will probably be a few more months but then again 10g has been released for other less mainstream platforms fairly quickly.
Cheers,
Jos Nijhoff

Cannot get ODBC data source to talk to Oracle 10g for Windows

Problem description
I recently installed Oracle 10g on my laptop computer, which is running Windows 7. Everything went smoothly except for one crucial item: The ODBC data source I added keeps returning this error when I click the "Test Connection" button:
Testing Connection
Unable to connect
[Microsoft][ODBC Driver Manager] Driver's SQLAllocHandle on SQL_HANDLE_ENV failed.
I was using the following ODBC driver
Oracle in OraDb10g_home1 (TNS Service Name = ORCL and User ID = scott)
This type of error happened, in one form or another for the three other Oracle drivers I have on my machine
Microsoft ODBC for Oracle
WinSQL Oracle
WinSQL Oracle Wire Protocol
These services are currently running (status = Started)
OractDBConsoleorcl
OracleMTSRecoveryService
OracleOraDb10g_home1iSQL*Plus
OracleOraDb10g_home1TNSListener
OracleServiceORCL
(NOTE: I entered the foregoing information by hand, since I was not able to copy-and-paste it. So be aware that there is a small possibility of a minor typo in case you plan to cut-and-paste it.)
If requested, I can provide the contents of these files
tnsnames.ora
sqlnet.ora
listener.ora
Other installations on the same computer
ODAC (ADO data provider for Oracle)
SQL Server 2009 Express
.NET 4
Visual Studio 2010
Any help would be greatly appreciated!

OK, I went ahead and upgraded to Windows 7 Professional and I STILL get the same error messages when trying to get the Oracle ODBC driver to talk to Oracle 10g. Here are some screen shots that show what happened:
1) Select ODBC driver: http://yfrog.com/f3driverselectionp
2) Configure driver: http://yfrog.com/ccoracleodbcfororaclep
3) Test connection: http://yfrog.com/1goracleodbcfororacletestp
I also get the following error when I try to run SQL*Plus from the line command, even with no parameters:
C:\Users\Bruce>sqlplus

Performance Problem After upgrade to oracle 10g

Hi
I have upgrade one of my datawarehouse database from oracle 9.2.0.8 to oracle 10.2.0.4 running on solaris 9
After the upgrade jobs which were running in the database is taking hell lot of time.
The jobs are accessing the views which is used to get the monthly report data from the database.
what could be the solution and where to start from to get the RCA to resolve this performance issue
Please let me know if you require any other information
database is currently running in the automatic shared memory management mode ie SGA_MAX and SGA_TARGET parameters are defined for that

There are a lot of differences between 10g and 9i in this regard, among these are:
- There is a default job that gathers statistics every night which is not there in 9i. You might have totally different statistics as in 9i due to that job, depending on how and if at all you used to collect statistics in 9i
- The 10g DBMS_STATS package collects histograms on some columns by default (parameter METHOD_OPT=>'FOR ALL COLUMNS SIZE AUTO' default in 10g whereas 'FOR ALL COLUMNS SIZE 1' in 9i) which can have a significant effect on the execution plans
- The 10g optimizer has CPU costing enabled by default which can make significant changes to your execution plans due to different costing of table scans and order of predicate evaluation. In addition it uses NOWORKLOAD system statistics if system statistics have not been gathered explicitly
- 10g checks the min and max values stored for columns in the data dictionary. If your predicates are way off compared to these values then 10g begins to adjust the calculated selectivity of the predicate which can again significantly affect your execution plans
- 10g introduces the "Cost Based Query Transformation (CBQT)" feature which means that rather than applying heuristic transformation rules transformations are costed and potentially discarded whereas 9i applies transformations unconditionally whenever possible

Upgrade to Oracle 10g

hi,
We have done a test upgrade from 9.2.0.7 to 10.2.0.2 , The upgrade was successful.
For some reason the following 10g services were not created.
OracleCSService
OracleJobScheduler<DBSID>
Oracle<Oracle_Home_Name>SNMPPeerEncapsulator
Oracle<Oracle_Home_Name>SNMPPeerMasterAgent
Is there a manual way of creating these services and why they were not created
during the installation process.

Hi,
The first time you install Oracle Database, if you selected Automatic Storage Management as a storage and recovery option, Oracle Universal Installer configures and starts a single-instance version of the Oracle Cluster Synchronization Services (CSS) service.If you did not choose Automatic Storage Management as a storage or recovery option, you can ignore the OracleCSService service.
Becoz of Bug some of services are not created.
You will have to first shutdown the database and stop the database service before running ORADIM -delete from cmd prompt.
Delete and recreate the database service via the 10.2 ORADIM. This will also create the OracleJobSchedulerSID needed... it will be in a disabled status, but you can change that via Computer Management > Services gui.
from cmd prompt ORADIMxx -NEW -SID <SID> -INTPWD <password> -STARTMODE <mode> -PFILE <pfile>
      where:
             sid       is the database SID
             password is the password for INTERNAL
             mode      is the startup mode for the services, either
                       AUTO or MANUAL
             pfile     is the full path and name of the
                       INIT<sid>.ORA file
Review the ORADIM log file for any errors.

Oralce 9i AS upgrade to Oracle 10g AS

We want to upgrade our oracle 9i AS to Oracle 10g AS, We want to know the steps to upgrade. Can any one share his / her experience.
Do we need to install the oracle 10g AS and have to deploy the forms and reports again, or we can upgrade existing oracle 9i AS to 10g AS.
regards

In my personal experiences upgrading usually means headache. A form that runs like a charm on 9i R2 doesn't always run that nicely on 10g. Also upgrading components to a new major release is not that simple of a process. You should have your development department check everything thoroughly.
Which components are you using? If it is just forms & reports, I would do a clean install and start compiling forms again. Users from OID (if used) can be migrated using ldif files (ldapsearch is your friend). If you do not use OID / SSO, you might consider moving to the forms&reports edition (which doesn't use an infrastructure).
If you are using portal, I have no clue (never did an upgrade to a new major release for portal).
